Thanks for the informed opinions.

Does anyone have suggestions for small mics that are suitable for 
mounting on instruments? At the moment I'm particularly interested in 
something for violin and viola. An obvious problem is the mounting 
itself, since it's critical not to mar the instrument in the process. 
One solution is a mini-gooseneck that could attach to the chin rest.

Contact mics are another area of interest, particularly for 
percussion (back to the main topic) and miscellaneous sounding bodies 
such as machines and architectural elements.
